After taking students to the EJI's Legacy Museum and the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in 2018, we saw the transformative power of these spaces. No one leaves these spaces unchanged or apathetic; these sites demand action of their visitors. With that understanding, the Wake County Community Remembrance Coalition (WCCRC) began taking community stakeholders on annual "pilgrimages" to the EJI's sites in Montgomery, Alabama.

Our next pilgrimage will be on December 4 & 5, 2025. The visit will include time to visit the Legacy Museum, the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, and the new Freedom Monument Sculpture Park. Participants can also elect to join a brief meeting with EJI staff as we plan for future work in Wake County.  

Details will be posted as they become available.
